Application examples

Automation of a gas pipeline with block valve and metering stations

Uniform automation of all stations in the gas network

■SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system for compressor and pressure reducing stations

■SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl with SINAUT telecontrol tech- nology on the basis of S7-300/S7-400 controllers for block valve and metering stations

■Combination of process control at one operator station (SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client)

■Compliant process control with uniform faceplates, alarms, trends etc.

High system availability resulting from redundancy

■Redundant pair of SIMATIC PCS 7 OS servers

■Redundant pair of SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl OS servers

■ Ring topology with redundant media	Integral safety technology for emergency shutdown (ESD)
	ESD is integrated homogenously into the automation plant
	(compressor and relief stations):
	• Redundant safety-related controllers
	• Redundant PROFIBUS with PROFIsafe
	• ET 200M with F modules
